Founded in 2024 by a coalition of heirs’ property professionals, Clear Landing was born from a shared recognition: Alabama families facing clouded titles and inheritance complications lacked access to affordable, trustworthy support. Our founders have decades of combined experience working alongside landowners, attorneys, Extension agents, and community leaders to address the challenges of tangled titles and involuntary land loss.

Experience & Impact
Over the past two years, our team has traveled across the country, training hundreds of Extension professionals and community groups through the Understanding Heirs’ Property at the Community Level curriculum, a program hosted by the Southern Rural Development Center (SRDC) and the Socially Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers (SDFR) Policy Center. We are active members of the Heirs' Property Practitioner Network and Alabama Heirs' Property Alliance, both of which strengthen our statewide and national partnerships.

Our Commitment
From community centers to churches, from classrooms to courtrooms, Clear Landing has been present where families need us most. We are committed to providing heirs’ property owners with low-to-moderate incomes the tools they need to preserve their land, clear title, and prevent involuntary loss. Through legal guidance and estate planning, we help transform uncertainty into security—ensuring that family land remains a source of strength for generations to come.

Jacy plays a central role in the development and implementation of Clear Landing's grant-funded initiatives, including programs supported by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta's Family Wealth Protection Fund and the Sustainable Forestry and Land Retention (SFLR) Forest Landowner Stewardship and Community Resilience Initiative, funded through the U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities. Through these initiatives, she coordinates legal services, community education, and outreach efforts designed to address heirs’ property issues and strengthen long-term landownership. Her work includes overseeing legal service delivery, developing educational programming, coordinating partnerships, and providing direct representation to families navigating complex title and estate planning matters. Through Clear Landing's Family Wealth Protection Fund initiative, the organization has helped families protect more than $2 million in family-owned property.

Beyond her direct legal work, Jacy is actively involved in heirs’ property education, advocacy, and policy initiatives at both the state and national levels. She regularly presents at professional conferences, leads continuing legal education programs, and conducts community workshops to equip attorneys, landowners, and community organizations with the knowledge and resources necessary to protect family-owned property. She also supports collaborative efforts to advance legislative solutions that simplify intergenerational property transfers and reduce barriers to maintaining family landownership.

In addition to her civilian legal practice, Jacy serves as a Judge Advocate in the Alabama Air National Guard. In 2026, Jacy was named one of the Birmingham Business Journal's Top 40 Under 40 and received the Larry E. Craven Legal Assistance Award in recognition of her outstanding contributions to military legal assistance.

Through her work with Clear Landing and beyond, Jacy remains committed to empowering families with the legal tools, education, and support necessary to protect their property, strengthen their communities, and preserve the legacies of generations past for generations to come.
